Luo Yin is in a pretty good mood today.
The reason for this is that he and Glory are currently packing their luggage together.
"Admiral, how about I put these purchased tables and chairs together first, and then send them to the post office to mail them back to the naval base tomorrow?"
"Just leave it here; staff will handle it properly."
"Okay, then what about the pots, pans, and dishes in the kitchen..."
"Throw it away."
"...The ship girls' beds..."
"Throw it away."
"Admiral, you..."
"Throw it away."
"..." Glorious looked helplessly at Luo Yin, who was opening his arms wide and embracing the air with a happy expression.
Luo Yin, who was smiling contentedly, suddenly came to his senses at this moment. He lowered his hands and looked at Guang Rong: "Oh, I think I'll keep it. It's not easy to throw it away."
"Admiral, you seem to be in a good mood today."
"Yeah, because we can leave here tomorrow." Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. "Let's leave those troublesome and difficult-to-handle large items here. Let's not bother packing them and save time."
Finally, I can leave this awful place.
Admiral Luo Yin was extremely excited.
Returning like an arrow.
God knows how Luo Yin has been getting by these past few weeks.
Admiral Luo Yin was once a carefree and happy young man, enjoying the wonderful time living with the ship girls. However, just a few weeks ago, while preparing for his expedition, he unexpectedly discovered a huge secret.
Luo Yin's ship girls are glorious. While Luo Yin was inspecting the ship girls' equipment, he actually brought one of the ship girls into the expedition team.
The moment Luo Yin saw that ship girl, his heart skipped a beat and he almost jumped out of his throat.
His intense will to survive overwhelmed him like the sea.
—Some ship girls, on the surface, are just ship girls, but in reality, they are powerful admirals who can flatten an entire chapter's sea area.
Luo Yin definitely had questions in his mind. There were many things he didn't understand, and he was also very curious as to why a human admiral would possess the power of a ship girl.
But he knew those things had nothing to do with him.
When playing puzzle-adventure games, the correct approach is often to prioritize survival before trying to uncover the truth. Life is the most precious thing. Why are folklorists and archaeologists considered high-risk professions? Because these people are often quite incompetent, yet they love to investigate endlessly, pushing themselves into various situations that drain their sanity. Ultimately, they mostly end up as NPCs paving the way for the protagonist, or, if they're lucky, even get a cameo role before the protagonist's demise.
Even if you only play a minor role, you still die, right?
You're crazy! I'm a survivalist admiral, currently experiencing a career upswing after a low point in my life, with a bright future ahead. I just want to live to the very last episode!
It took Luo Yin several seconds to compose herself, perfectly preventing her expression from showing any abnormality.
What followed went smoothly; Luo Yin played the role of a commander who knew nothing, helping Xiao Bai put on a good show.
And so, that day came to an end.
Many strange things happened after that, but after further confirmation that there was no harm, Luo Yin became completely deaf and blind, unable to see or hear anything. Bosses, please go ahead.
Luo Yin's wish was simple: he just wanted to stay away from trouble and live a comfortable life as a salted fish.
Today is his last day at this first node. Once the ship girls have had their fun and returned to the courtyard, he can leave this place first thing tomorrow morning.
Luo Yin felt the glory of the sea and was in a pleasant and comfortable mood.
I even have a slight urge to do square dancing and then sing a song.
Glorious looked at Luo Yin, who had a strangely irritating expression on his face, thought for a long time, and then shook his head helplessly: "Alright, Admiral, you decide."
Glory stacked the tables and chairs together, sealed them with tape, and then piled them in the corners of the yard.
Just then, familiar footsteps came from the doorway.
Glory looked up and saw York walking into the yard looking utterly dejected.
"York? Why are you back? Have you had enough fun?" Glory looked at York with some surprise.
York raised her head, looking at Glory with a confused expression. She quietly walked up to Glory, put her arm around his waist, and then buried her face in his soft chest.
"Oh... York, what are you doing, you silly girl?" Glory was amused by York's childlike behavior. She patted York on the back and then pushed her out of her arms. "Stop fooling around, I'm packing my luggage. Help me if you have time."
"Glorious Sister..."
"Ok?"
"Someone wants to see our admiral," York muttered, somewhat bewildered.
Glory was taken aback: "Who is it?"
"An old acquaintance of the admiral."
"An old acquaintance of the Admiral? The Admiral shouldn't have many people he knows well here..." Glorious paused, thought for a moment, "Who is it?"
"The one with the white hair at the registration desk."
"Pfft!"
Before York could finish speaking, Luo Yin, who had been incredibly excited just a few seconds ago, suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Shivering.
Chapter 847 The Ultimate Spendthrift Girl
Outside Luo Yin's courtyard, Xiao Bai and Saratoga were standing on the street, waiting for a response.
Saratoga followed behind Little White, carrying large and small bags in her hands, curiously tiptoeing and peering into the yard.
The first node has been unbanned by the Admiral's Guild because the deep-sea cluster phenomenon has weakened, and they are no longer required to collect protection fees. With nothing to do, the newbies and ship girls no longer need to work and can do whatever they want.
Everyone wanted to come together, but there were too many ship girls in one courtyard, and if Lorenia and the others came together, it would be too conspicuous for so many people to wander around the streets and visit other courtyards. So after discussing it with their friends, Shiro decided to come alone with Saratoga.
Saratoga seems to know York quite well, so having her along would provide some support.
"Saratoga, what are those things you're holding?"
“Admiral Luo Lian gave this to me before I left. He told me to keep it as a gift.” Saratoga raised her hand and glanced into the bag. The six or seven paper bags hanging on her arm made a creaking sound.
"As expected of Lianlian, she's so thoughtful." Xiaobai smiled.
When visiting someone's home, you can't go empty-handed. You don't have to bring anything too precious, but at least you should bring some fruits or something. Xiao Bai hadn't thought of bringing any gifts before, but luckily Luo Lian remembered.
“There’s no packaging, so I don’t know what’s inside,” Saratoga said, pouting, as she tried to rummage through the bag.
Just then, a figure ran out of the courtyard with a series of hurried footsteps.
Glorious pushed open the door, and timidly trotted to Xiaobai, bowing deeply to him: "Greetings, Admiral Lu Lin! I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner!"
At this moment, Glorious is not facing the ship girl Pagina, but an admiral whose strength is unfathomable. He was once capable of knocking Luo Yin into the abyss, but ultimately saved his life and the lives of all the admirals and ship girls in the first chapter.
With a mix of thoughts, Glory didn't dare look directly at Xiaobai's face.
—Although there is a subtle sadness to it, it's better this way; the fewer people who recognize Xiaobai, the better.
"Hello, Glory! Is your admiral in?"
"The admiral... is here."
"Great! Can I go in and take a look?"
"Please come in."
Little White entered the courtyard under Glorious's guidance. Saratoga, who was behind her, quickened her pace and held out the bag in her hand to Glorious: "Here you go."
A large pile of paper bags swayed and made a rustling sound.
"this is……"
“A gift,” Saratoga said.
"I am extremely grateful." Glory accepted the gift with a strange expression, secretly weighing the bag in his hand.
A greeting gift from a naval base of this caliber... I wonder what its quality is.
Glorious shook his head, looking at Xiaobai's back: "If I may be so bold as to ask, what brings Admiral Lu Lin to my admiral's office?"
“Because of York…” Xiaobai’s voice was somewhat unsteady.
"York? What happened to the child?"
"...Pachina is my ship girl."
"..." Glorious opened his mouth, paused for a moment, then nodded in sudden realization, "I see... No wonder Miss Patina knows that sir..."
"Sir, who is it?" Xiao Bai turned his head curiously and looked at Guang Rong.
Glorious lowered his head somewhat awkwardly: "...It was that powerful ship girl who saved me and my companions in your naval base. Glorious will never forget that lady's heroic figure."
"...My lord..." Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Could it be...Rome?"
"She is a magnificent ship girl with a head of dashing short white hair, just like you."
"Veneto?"
"Exactly."
"..." Xiao Bai thought about it and suddenly realized that the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" was true.
Veneto is cute and handsome, but there's nothing about him being tall and imposing.
Forget it, Xiaobai doesn't have the habit of putting others down. If Glory thinks it's great, then let it be great and magnificent.
Xiao Bai looked out over the yard and found Luo Yin and York standing at the door.
Luo Yin was still the same calm and humble man Xiao Bai had always seen. He was a rare man that Xiao Bai found quite comfortable to look at. However, for some reason, Admiral Luo Yin's clothes were a bit dirty today.
"Admiral Luo Yin, it's been a long time." Xiao Bai greeted Luo Yin.
"I apologize for not greeting you sooner, Admiral Lu Lin." Luo Yin raised his hand and bowed to Xiao Bai.
Are you feeling better?
"what?"
York said you haven't been feeling well lately.
"Oh...it's just a minor injury." Luo Yin paused, then seemed to understand what had happened. "It's nothing serious."
Luo Yin's reaction was rather dull, almost killing the conversation. However, Xiao Bai had no intention of chatting with Luo Yin anyway. Xiao Bai glanced at York standing next to Luo Yin and mentally prepared his response.
That concludes the polite conversation.
"Admiral Luo Yin, this happened so suddenly, may I talk to you about something?" Xiao Bai asked.
"..." Luo Yin swallowed hard. He looked up at Xiao Bai and Saratoga behind him, feeling a little flustered.
Could it be that... even my perfect acting skills were ultimately unable to deceive the admiral in front of me?
Or is it that the other side came to silence us?
Luo Yin's hands trembled slightly.
"...What is it?" Luo Yin asked.
"It has something to do with me," Xiaobai said apologetically.
Looking at Xiaobai's apologetic expression, Luo Yin felt a chill run down his spine.
It's a blessing in disguise, not a curse. You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't escape the fifteenth...
That makes sense. After all, the fact that an admiral also possesses the power of ship girls is too shocking. Even if he didn't find out, the other side probably wouldn't be at ease...
Luo Yin stared blankly at Xiao Bai. Surprisingly, he didn't have any major negative emotions. He didn't feel any anger of "better to die than live in dishonor," nor did he cry out against the injustice of fate. His heart felt empty, with only a faint sense of loneliness and helplessness.
“Let’s talk inside.” Luo Yin pointed to the largest house behind him.
"Oh, um!" Xiaobai nodded.
"Glory, you and York should go back to your room and rest first," Luo Yin said to Glory.
Glory nodded, then pulled York into a small hut.
It seems that Luo Yin realized that the matter being discussed was not suitable for Glory to be involved.
Xiao Bai was quite happy with Luo Yin's incredibly sensible and cooperative behavior. This would save a lot of trouble.
